A Time to Sow Seeds

A Sunday Amen

Inspiration from a puzzle, then did my own thing. Pastel & colored pencil. 8th entry into my sketchbook. Photographed with light pouring in through the kitchen window creating some white rays.

“So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan”

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

- Ecclesiastes 3:2-8

Oh common man
take a stand
languishing
in seasons
of atrocity
residual
animosity 
rich or poor
*peace after war
pray o'er the land
*hate before love's
glimmer of 
hope more
than enough
fire and floods
*speak in silence
as you shed
your cold
blood
of devastation
third world nation
*mending after tears
release your fears
*exile to embrace
rise with grace
*surrender to search
oh Holy apathy
*embrace my heart  
*break the mold
of stories untold
*gather to relinquish
cast out possibility
reel in civility
*dance in the
mourning 
*laughter
of weeping
ashen skies
rid the polarize
*build after
breaking down
let passion flow
*heal the dead
forgive instead
*heave the weeds
*plant promise seeds
from a new world
*dying to be born
'cause we're here
and it's clear
there is a time
and a season 
to
love.

Amen.

- Ecclesiastes 3  "In Reverse" 8-2
Deborah T. Hewitt

What prompted me to write this was listening to this beautiful woman offering comfort after losing so much in the fires:
